A four way clip?! That's definitely an Endura 4 handle. Now that's a secret bonus...If the Lil' model actually features a Delica handle I'd buy one to mess around with and show to people as an example of the concept.

Sorry! Never even considered the buy/sell thing!
It's more for me to say that there are originals new floating around here in South Africa for good prices! Purely for collectors I would help get a rare knife!
The handle is in fact the same as the Endura4. The only differences are a recess in the backspacer to allow the point of the blade to nest when closed and the flat spot where the clip contacts the handle. It reads Matriarch instead of Endura.
The smaller version will be based on the Delica4 platform.
These are going to be serrated only.
I've been working on some ad photos for the Matriarch2 and couldn't resist doing some cutting with it. In short, it ROCKS! I actually like it better than the Civilian because it has less hook at the point and the tip, so the point is a bit thicker.
Stay safe,

Just pulled the trigger on this one. I love this knife, and the updated Endura 4 handle makes it a no brainier. When the smaller one comes out... Oh man that is going to be something special.
